Houthi missiles are approaching: The Middle East fears the attack that will change everything

A report in The Wall Street Journal reveals that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is moving between fortified palaces under heavy security, as Houthi attacks on Riyadh intensify. The Saudi interceptor stockpile is running low, and the kingdom is struggling to provide air defense for its territory. Trump is considering military intervention alongside Saudi Arabia.

A report in The Wall Street Journal reveals that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is moving between fortified palaces, accompanied by a special security team, against the backdrop of a significant escalation in Houthi attacks on Riyadh. The attacks have turned parts of the Saudi capital into a combat zone, threatening the kingdom's security, economic stability, and bin Salman's plans. Shrapnel from an intercepted ballistic missile hit a compound containing a kindergarten and a clinic, and workers in the financial district, students, and diplomats were forced to evacuate. The Saudi interceptor missile stockpile is dwindling, and the kingdom is struggling to provide air defense for its vast territory, forced to move batteries between royal palaces and strategic energy facilities. The Houthis, who have been fighting the Saudi-led coalition since 2015, have renewed their attacks in recent months. In August, they seized the port city of Mokha and positions along the Red Sea coast. Trump said over the weekend that the US is in contact with the Houthis but may join Saudi strikes against them. Saudi Arabia has turned to Pakistan for assistance, is seeking air defense systems worldwide, and is considering recruiting foreign fighters, alongside exploring a diplomatic solution.
